Let's divide 176894 by 5
We want to figure out the number of times 176894 can be divided by 5.

Step 1:
The number 5 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 5

Advancing to step 2:
5 goes into 17 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 15 from 17 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 goes into 26 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 25 from 26 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 5

On to step 4:
If we divide 18 by 5, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 353.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 15 from 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 5

Step 5:
5 can be fit into 39 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3537.0
Subtracting 35 from 39 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
5 can be fit into 44 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 35378.0
Subtract 40 from 44 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35378.8
Subtract 40 from 40 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35378.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35378.8
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 35378.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
